No, it happens all the time. Any month with 31 days has four days of the week appear four times (in each of the four whole weeks of the month) and three days that appear five times (in each of the four weeks and also as one of the `extra` 3 days that make up a 31 day month). So wait until December (yeah, this December..!) for a similar rare event. Or any other 31 day month will do. If you insist on it being 5xFridays and 5xSat and 5xSun, hang on for July 2011 (or any other 31 day month that starts on a Friday). Wait 823 years? Naaa.

Someone said: The Chinese calendar doesn't have weeks or weekdays. The days are merely numbered from 1-29 or 30 in each month. Every month has 29 or 30 days, with an occasional extra day now and then. usually there are 12 months in a year, but some times they add an extra to catch up. (Like we do with the leap year). But the point is, there ARE NO FRIDAYS, SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS in the Chinese calendar. There was for a while ca 1000 years ago, but that week was 10 days long. There would never be 5 of anything in a 30 day month when the week is 10 days long.

kz642 said: Whoever said that every 823 years is correct for October, didn't do much research and is pretty gullible. Already I found that it happened in 2005, 1994, 1988, 1977.... Oops, should be 83 and 77. 1910, 1921, 1927, 1938, 1949, 1955, 1966, 1977, 1983, 1994, 2005 and 2011. October has 5 Saturdays 5 Sundays and 5 Mondays in all of these years.

There are only two things that can make one calendar different from another: (1) the day of the week on which January 1 falls, and (2) whether it is a leap year or not. For any given year, the calendar will be identical every 5, 6 or 11 years. This year`s calendar [2011] repeats identically in 2022 (not once every 823 years), coincidentally, this year`s calendar [2011], is an exact duplicate of 2005.

Any 31 day month where the 1st falls on a friday, will have 5 fridays, saturdays and sundays. This happens all the time and has nothing to do with Feng Shui whatsoever. There is no such thing called "moneybags". Recent and future months where this happens, are: January 2010, October 2010, July 2011, March 2013.

Not true that this happens every 823 years! Any mon with 31 days and the 1st falls on Friday will have 5 Fridays 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. Also any month that Sunday falls on the 1st will have Friday the 13th.
